Storm Eowyn

[Veronicaaa]

I didn't take the dog out after all - by the time I'd faffed around wondering whether to, getting a deluge of WhatsApp messages telling me about all the damage, he'd done a big poo and wee in the living room anyway

Not sure if this link will share but I'm in Scotland. It's so peaceful right now. That red/purple area is the jet spikes of wind that are coming out way, about to jump into our low air pressure area with a huge amount of force.

Hope everyone has had the chance to secure everything and stay safe at home until it passes

 

[Veronicaaa]

I’m west coast and in a red area. Already got trees down/flooding and the worst isn’t going to arrive for a few hours yet!

Same, I just had to take the dog out and there's a massive tree already down in the park - not sure when it happened but well before the red warning takes effect.

 

[FoksiOska]

Well that's the wind arrived was rudely woken by what sounded like a roof tile slowly making it's departure from the roof

I'm in Yorkshire and it's pretty wild here. Can't imagine what it's like in the red areas. Stay safe everyone

Probably nerves - my dog's an emotional poo-er (and farter).

Me too.

West Coast Scotland and it's much quieter here now although still strong winds. We've some damage to roof so that needs sorted.

Our small shops and takeaways are open and doing deliveries too. Crazy.

I’m know we’re supposed to be out of the red now, but am I alone in thinking it’s not died down at all yet?!

We’ve no phone lines, and trees down all over the place.

I had a spin class booked and I decided to cancel it as it still feels like the gusts are really strong and I don’t really fancy driving in it. Still hearing of trees coming down too. Studio still charged me a late cancellation fee though… you think they’d be a bit more lenient in a weather warning.

If you are in West, Central or SW of Scotland it won't be missing you, same if you are anywhere in North/South Ireland.
I think the winds will be pretty dangerous tomorrow, sometimes the warnings can be a bit overblown but a red warning is a definite worry.

See we get amber and yellow warnings a lot and although they are milder warnings, they are still warnings but nothing really comes from them.
The only red one I've had has been the beast from the east and my work closed down for it but we're staying open for this one so that's maybe why I'm cautious of getting too concerned about this one. I'm definitely worried about leaving my pets at home alone though

 

[JustHereForTheAgriculture]

Definitely getting a bit worried here. We’re (Dublin) usually quite lucky with storms but this is our first red warning in a good while. Got everything charged and my gas hob for hot water. Hopefully won’t need any of it.
Hope everyone stays safe.

We now are getting yellow warning for wind ,sleet & ice ...........
January feels like its never going to end.

 

[RinsedHoops]

Roofs off the garages around the corner. Dog finally got out for a pee at 5. Still wild, don’t feel it’s easing off

 

[Veronicaaa]

My cat did a poo at the back door, not like her at all, it was very runny, dunno why she didn't just go in the litter tray, it's not like she actually has to leave the house to venture outside into the storm for a shit!
Cheeky sod.

Probably nerves - my dog's an emotional poo-er (and farter).

 

[Rach472]

North down coast., it's really wild out there. Pray for my cat run and greenhouse!

 

[ack13]

I’m in Edinburgh, it’s getting pretty windy. Don’t think my fence is going to survive it .

I’m glad I’m on my day off today, really did not want to be driving to and from work in that weather (I feel bad saying that but you know what I mean). Some of my colleagues have been driving 30-40 mins to get to the hospital, hopefully none of them get stuck there and all get there and home safely.

Only downside is my cat is screaming at me because he wants to go outside and I'm not letting him haha

 

[Madamex]

Haven't slept a wink all night with the wind. The house was shaking!

 

[sam0206]

Trees are falling down at my work now and a windows caved in, been told if we leave now it's at our own risk it's definitely picking up some speed now

 

[kazizzle]

I'm up and down at every noise to check if my bins are still there

 

[sam0206]

If any of yous are on Facebook I recommend windy Wilson for updates followed him for years and he's always spot on. I think we're still in for a dodgy weekend although a lot calmer than today thankfully

Thread for the incoming storm eowyn
Currently a red weather warning for some parts tomorrow for extreme winds. Schools, nurseries and public transport are all off as well as several other businesses.

 

[LittleMy]

Yeah I’m not liking this, been awake for hours listening to the crazy winds

 

[soupmodel]

I'm not long in from taking my dogs out and it's so quiet. I don't know if it's just in my mind because I'm anxious but it's just so quiet and eerie out there

It really is so quiet, we've had so many windy nights over the last few months, so it's definitely feeling a bit off.

Not sure of your location (and there's no need for you to share on here) but when Sean Batty tweeted this earlier, I was like, oh... Low pressure is not what we need just now.



Glad you got the dogs out in the peace.

I can't sleep because weather fronts have been a hyperfocus of mine since I was in school .

I just hope people genuinely stay at home. My faith in humanity after the pandemic (different ballpark obviously) is not where it once was.
I at least hope people have secured what they can in their gardens and their houses.

I think I'm a weirdo because I like the see all facts and info, that's what soothes my anxiety.

Hopefully your anxiety lessens soon and you can get some sleep 🫂

Stay safe
